start of extermination camps
"In late 1941, the Nazi regime began building specially designed, stationary killing centers in German-occupied Poland. Nazi Germany operated five killing centers: Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The primary means of murder at the killing centers was poisonous gas released into sealed gas chambers or vans." -

end of the holocaust
The Holocaust ended in May 1945 when the major Allied Powers defeated Nazi Germany in World War II. As Allied forces moved across Europe in a series of offensives, they overran concentration camps. There they liberated the surviving prisoners, many of whom were Jews. The Allies also encountered and liberated the survivors of death marches. These forced marches consisted of groups of Jewish and non-Jewish concentration camp inmates who had been evacuated on foot from camps under SS guard.
